The Manchester United Thread

To be fair to McTominay I thought he had a good game. Good on the ball and played some nice forward passes. Considering he got thrown into a new position and system I thought he handled it pretty well.

I actually thought the same and got lured in by Mourinho bullshit. But when I checked he had the worst pass % out of any of the back 3 CBs. And one of the lowest in the team full stop. Not his fault like.

Stats are subjective though. Certainly didnt look that way watching the game. Maybe he had the lowest % because he was the only one actually trying to play the ball forward and put the strikers through. I had no complaints with his performance anyway.

i think most of us can agree that we have no confidence in a)the board sorting the current mess out and b)installing the right manager to replace jose.This great club is becoming a shadow of what it was and needs sorting out

Just had enough mate. I don’t usually rant or go overly negative. But the clubs becoming a farce.

I will I’ll hold my hands up and say that in the past when people like Scouse have mocked us and how we have been run etc and how we would end up. I would think he was just on a WUM mission but over time it’s apearing more and more true. Not saying it’s gone well and truly to **** and Unsalvageable but it’s getting to tipping point. Depending on the next few decisions made on the football side of things.

His is explanations for both Matial and McTominey were a joke! Said at the time. Saying he dropped Sanchez and played Martial because that’s what the press, had been asking for. Who the **** cares just pick the best players in there positions. Your the manager not the ******* journalists.

Can seriously sly see it being the end if we have bad results against Chelsea and Valencia. It has to be surely!? Bouhafsi on RMC French radio has been saying this afternoon that Zidane has defo held talks and that he would be interested in having Evra on his staff.

****** depressing really is. And to top it off getting it nearly 8hrs a day at work ain’t helping from City, Pool, Leeds fans

Nah he's usually on a wum mission. We've long known about the board issues. It's just that they are coming to a head. We'll find out what they do with the technical director soon enough. And Jose can't last long at this rate

He rarely is yanno. Just telling it like he see’s it.

Just seemingly some of you can’t deal with it from a Liverpudlian which makes talking Utd nigh on impossible at times.

Remember Tezz? Now HE knew how to push buttons and went all out for it until he took it too far.

Which is a shame because hes actually a belter lad. Works on a matchday the club doing all sorts the lounges and boxes and ****. He was just young and daft and let it spill over into aggressive posting sadly.

To be fair, it said Valencia was barely talking to him, so I don't think that's out of the ordinary. Lad barely talks anyway XD

Pereira at this rate is practically going to have a season down the toilet after seemingly doing so well in pre season and opening game. But then this is so Mourinho, when the team plays bad at Brighton he practically singled him out and not to be seen again. I hate to make the comparison but a manager like Pochettino would never give up in a player like that after one or two bad games where the team was just bad in general. He has a vision he believes in and sticks to it..... just look at All, much more established player obviously but that's only down to Pochettino. However my point is that All has not been performing well for quite a while now at his best and you don't see him just disappear.

The NY Times excellent footy correspondent Rory Smith wrote a great piece last week on Utd but it pertains to any football club in general who get in that ‘cycle’ where everything goes wrong and they just can’t break it. Wheee normal things at any other club like players on social media suddenly become major issues when you’re mired in that cycle:

More excited to see the u19s at 3 o’clock. Can really see another Sevilla. Especially if there attacking players are on it.

Late for a home game lol. No Periera no Fred

 

[RhQQ]

Just me or does Alexis look 10x better on the right? Less wasteful, has the whole picture in front of him (natural angles for 1st time/quick passes to Lukaku)

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

It’s been pretty dire again tbh. First 10/15 mins the pressing and intensity was there, then normal service resumed. Valencia has been ***** getting caught out of position so many times. And well we no about his attacking play. Rashford running in blind allies and shooting from ridiculous distances again. Fellaini offered nothing in this game, getting bypassed far to easy! Only bright sparks are Bailly, Sanchez, Shaw.

My god, dire is an understatement, there is literally zero excitement and it like a library at Old Trafford. Empty seats as well which I haven't seen for a long time.
